Artist's Comments

Desdemona was a victim of Men's Deceit. Her husband, Othello, was lead to believe that she had been unfaithful to him by the envious Iago.
So, he killed her.
The purest and most loyal rose.


How we become nothing to those who claim to love us.


Desdemona: (…) She had a song of willow;
An old thing 'twas; but it expressed her fortune,
And she died singing it. (…)

The poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree,
Sing all a green willow;
Her hand on her bosom, her head on her knee,
Sing willow, willow, willow;
The fresh stream ran by her and murmured her moans;
Sing willow, willow, willow;
Her salt tears fell from her and softned the stones
(…)

Sing willow, willow, willow –
Sing all a green willow must be my garland.
Let nobody blame him; his scorn I approve –
(…)
I called my love false love, but what said he then?
Sing willow, willow, willow;
If I court moe women, you'll couch with moe men.



Shakespeare

well... I must say you're not only a good photographer but also a good manipulator! I absolutely loved the frames, the light, the girl's pose and skin! It's very well done and you gave it some depth which is something I always find hard to achieve. Hell I know your're portuguese but I don't think I can comment in portuguese anymore... so sorry=P

E pronto... que dizer quando se juntam duas artistas como vocês?
Esta imagem está fantástica! Acho que a vossa interpretação desta história está simplesmente excelente!
As cores, a pose, os brushes, a luz e todos aqueles pequenos detalhes desta imagem, estão soberbos.
Parabéns ás duas pelo excelente trabalho.
